Friends, many of you keep asking me to keep you informed of any new information that comes up. This article to designed to do exactly that. There has been some huge news lately and we are here today to tell you all about it.

Recently I received some of the most exciting news I have had ever since I had gotten into photography about ten years ago. I was informed that the University of Minnesota Ambulatory Care Center (or the University of Minnesota Hospital) had selected 46 of my images to be used to decorate the hospital as part of their new renovation project.

Let me take you back a little bit to see how this whole thing came to be. This past summer I was on sabbatical. What that really means is I hated my corporate job so badly I had to quit and try something else. It took me about 3 months to find the something else but in the meantime I had some incredible freedom so that I could continue to focus time and energy on my fine art photography passion.

One of the local art dealers send out an announcement that they were looking for Artists for a project that would be coming up during the fall of this year. I had the time to select the best of the best of my images that would fit into this project and then to scrub up those images and make them look the best that they could look.

I wanted to focus on images that would be iconic to the Minneapolis Saint I wanted to focus on images that would be iconic to the Minneapolis Saint Paul area. You know those images of places that everyone has been to and the places that they know and love. So while building the list of places that’s step one but finding those places captured in interesting and unique ways that’s probably the more complex part.

After being so deeply involved in photography for so long I am building up quite an enormous library of images, so how in the world do I go through images and pick the ones that really move people and that would be right for this project? My methodology might be a little sneaky maybe, what I do is go back through my Flickr images and look at the images that people have responded to the most strongly. Yep, your response really does move me and the artist. It is true my vision guides my work but it is also true your response strongly influences my work.

So as I was going through images that have been popular over the years, I also had to consider what were the images that would be soothing, calming and encouraging in a place of healing like the University of Minnesota hospital. Frankly this was the part I really had no real experience with. Again I had to rely on the voice of my supporters and viewers, I had you rely on your comments. So I was going through my images and I was looking for responses from people that had left a comment describing the great memories that a particular image brought back for them. It is the joyful memories that people have that can warm their heart and encourage healing.

After coming up with my list, I submitted approximately one hundred images to be put before the selection board and now it would be completely up to them. At that point, I completely forgot about the entire thing and went about my life.

This article does not give me space to post all the images that have been selected, but throughout this article I have attempted to display some of the most powerful and important images that were selected for this collection. I want to thank each one of you individually for all the feedback you’ve given me all through the years that has encourage me to keep moving forward, to hold my skills and to continue to produce interesting and compelling work. It is because of all your encouragement and support that this opportunity was possible, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I also hope that all the people that get to view my art while in the hospital during their process of healing will thank you for the part you’ve played in the creation of this art. I thank you for them.

All of these and many more images are supposed to be all installed by the end of December. If I get more details on where they are actually installed will do my best to provide an update to this post.
